Its funny how a guy with 11 sacks last yr in unreplaceable. But a guy with 9.5 is total suck. What is with this board this is a great signing. He will only hit the field on passing situations and he has Miller on the other side. I bet bewtween him and ayers, same amount of plays as doom, will be be better then Doom. Why because Doom stunk holding his own in the run game. Elway is a great GM he works FA, the draft, and doesn't ever seem to panic.

This was a nice signing....Phillips has always been able to get after the QB.

6'3 and 250 pounds....31 years old, will be 32 when the season starts.

69.5 career sacks and 20 forced fumbles.

Had an under the radar season in 2012 with 9.5 sacks, 2 forced fumbles, and 3 fumble recoveries.

Yep and with Von and this very stout Dline we now have, him rotating with Ayers will boost his stats as well.

Last year he had no Von Miller on the other side bringing the heat ... Give Quanterius time to heal and then they can play tag team rush from the right while Wolfe and Von lock down the left side.. This can work and he could be a good two to three year player for us.

Plus he knows all of Phillis' weaknesses ( so do the rest of the Broncos for that matter)

Maybe Ayers will start and he'll play on passing downs as a rushing DE.

Ayers and Wolfe will start at DE. Sly/Vickerson/Knightley will rotate at DT which is a big dline people. That will not be fun to run against. We will see on 3rd downs Wolfe kick inside, Ayers hit the bench, and Phillips come in to rush the passer. Then of course some player like Malik Jackson, or some rookie hotshot could get in on the action also. But mainly Broncos needed a vet pass rusher and all the fans being calm knew it would happen.
